Verallia Secures Lender Consent Amid BWGI Takeover Bid

On May 16, 2025, Verallia announced obtaining consent from its bank lenders to adjust the change of control clause on its existing banking facilities. This move ensures that the takeover bid by BWGI, filed on April 24, 2025, won’t trigger early repayment. Specific agreements were made with Bpifrance and Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring (CALF), providing necessary waivers and amendments. CALF also agreed to extend its factoring programs from December 2025 to June 2026. Verallia expressed satisfaction with the trust shown by its financial partners in facilitating this major corporate transition.
